Padma Lakshmi & Krishna: Pretty Pair

Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi and her 3-year-old daughter Krishna stepped out in New York City on Sunday (May 5). Both sporting dresses and jackets, the mother-daughter duo were seen walking hand-in-hand as they strolled through Manhattan.

The single mom is set to start filming season 11 of Top Chef later this month.

“I gain 10 or 15 pounds every season, and what it takes me six weeks to gain, it takes me 12 weeks to lose,” she shared. “That’s one of the hardest and, you know, main drawbacks from my job is that my weight yo-yos.”
